Every term, we ask the schools and academies that we work with, to nominate a member of our team that has worked in their schools to be Flourish Champion of the Term. We ask them to nominate someone who has gone above and beyond for their school or their pupils.
Over the last 2 weeks, our Flourish team have been visiting some of the schools that we work with, to present a gift voucher and flowers to our Flourish Champions of the term. We wanted to thank them for their flexibility and dedication, and for being incredible to us, the pupils they support and the schools they work with.
We have received a tremendous number of nominations this term, so many that it was impossible to pick just three. This term we are excited to announce there are five Flourish Champions of the term! Without further ado, our winners are:
Saiema, Victoria, Adele, Julie and Cheenen!
Saiema:
“Saiema has a brilliant report with the children. She is a great teacher, with a positive and infectious attitude.” – Primary School in Walsall
“Saiema has been working with Flourish Education since 2020 and has shown herself to be an incredibly dedicated and enthusiastic teacher. She always goes above and beyond in anything she does and is always willing to help anyone. We are so happy to have her as part of the Flourish team!” – Courtney Walker, Walsall Primary Consultant
Victoria:
“Victoria is lovely with the children and has an excellent subject knowledge.” – School in Malvern.
“Victoria currently works full-time as a PPA Teacher, and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. She has received amazing feedback from all the schools she’s worked in since she started with us, with members of staff commenting on Victoria’s happy disposition, her positivity and her kindness towards the children. It is no wonder she was nominated for Flourish Champion. I thoroughly enjoy our weekly catchups and am so pleased that Victoria chose to register with us in April 2024.” – Rebecca Stanton, Primary Recruitment Consultant for Malvern and Herefordshire
Adele:
“Adele comes in every Wednesday like a breath of fresh air. She is always friendly, bubbly and helpful towards staff. The children enjoy their lessons with Adele." – School in South Birmingham
“Adele has been working with Flourish Education since April 2023, during her time has completed day-to-day cover roles as well as long-term roles. Currently, Adele works as a PPA Teacher, and nothing is too much for her! She is super flexible and always gets stuck in. She is always friendly and an absolute pleasure to work with.” – Lizzy Francis Drummond, South Birmingham Primary Consultant.
Julie:
“Julie is dedicated and caring. She makes a huge difference to all the children she supervises. She can encourage learning from our more challenging children.” Evesham Primary School
“Since Julie started working with Flourish in February 2024, she has been a delight to work with. She has had a hands-on approach, fits in well with the team, and goes above and beyond for all her assignments.” - Savvas Yiacoumi, Evesham Recruitment Consultant.
Cheenen*:
"Cheenen is truly fabulous and has been a massive support in the class this year. Especially in supporting the children with SEND. She is a valued member of staff, and I am really appreciative of all the hard work she has put in this year.” – South Birmingham Primary School
“Cheneen has worked as a Teaching Assistant with Flourish since April 2022. Every time we chat, she is always so upbeat, and it's always been lovely to catch up about life, work, and everything in between. In her current role, Cheneen is supporting various children with additional needs and does a brilliant job. She is an asset to the Flourish Team!” – Lizzy Francis Drummond, Birmingham Branch Manager
Congratulations Saiema, Victoria, Adele, Julie and Cheenen; thank you for everything you do!
It was incredibly difficult to narrow down the nominations to just five, as all the ones we received were fantastic and it’s lovely to hear how well-thought-of our Flourish Champions are within the schools that we work with. We are extremely proud of all our Flourish Champions and are thankful for their continued commitment, enthusiasm and professionalism.
*Unfortunately, Cheenen was in class when we surprised her, so we were unable to get a photo of her receiving her gifts as there were children all around her.
